I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at New York Life (New York, NY) in Oct 2015
Interview
Very annoying. They first called me an hour after I applied online, but they wouldn't tell me over the phone how much I would be making, being that it was commission based. After "failing" their personality test, I convinced the guy that the test was wrong and that I was an ideal candidate. I was invited to a second interview which was a group setting, but I declined to go back since they wanted me to finish school part-time on a non-guaranteed salary.

applied online 2 interviews, all behavior, one with hr and one with the team. Overall its a easy interview process. I didn't get a offer but the whole process took around 2 months.
Easy process, phone call with recruiter and then director. Behavioral and a few technical questions about experience with softwares. Overall nothing tricky and prepared a little. Didnt hear back for some time and had to follow up a couple of times.
